The GOP has a major problem. Most of the well known presidential hopefuls are not interesting to the average voter. Why? They're old time career politicians rehashing the same old stuff. The only candidates generating any real interest are so called "Tea Partiers", and rightfully so. Here's my take on a few of the hopefuls.
Sarah Palin: Unfortunately irrelevant. While I personally think she'd probably make one heck of a good president (have you seen what she actually accomplished in her short stint as governor of Alaska?) she has blown her chances by resigning her governorship when the going got real tough, and quite frankly, acting ditzy on her TV show.
Michelle Bachman: She's got the right ideas and the right stuff, but not nearly enough national exposure yet.
Donald Trump: Should he by some chance get the nomination, he doesn't stand a chance against Obama because he's a loose cannon. Big money and big mouth do not necessarily a good president make.
And finally, just who the heck is Herman Cain? This former VP at Pillsbury, Former chairman and CEO of Godfather's Pizza, former Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, newspaper columnist, and radio talk show host set the world abuzz at the candidate debates in S.C. the other night. According to every poll taken he blew the rest of them away. He is very conservative, and unlike 99% of political candidates, has more than b.s. generalities to his platform. This man has solutions, knows exactly what has to be done to get them implemented, and isn't afraid to step on toes to get things done. Oh, and did I mention that he's black? Which makes him an attractive opponent against Obama. Because let's face it, in order to win the general election the GOP candidate is going to have to pull some of the black vote away from Obama.
My favorite ticket? Chris Christie and Lt. Col. Allen West. But the last I heard Christie was still adamantly refusing to run. Too bad.
